        Wie im Kriege also auch im Frieden

        by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Wilfried Böhringer

        In seinen frühen Erzählungen entfaltet Cabrera Infante ein Kaleidoskop der kubanischen Gesellschaft zur Zeit des Batista-Regimes: vierzehn anrührende bis abstruse Szenarios von Alltag unter den Bedingungen der Diktatur. Fünfzehn Textvignetten umrahmen die Erzählungen: Schlaglichter auf die repressive Gewalt des Batista-Regimes, schlichte und gerade deshalb so bewegende Nachrufe auf die Opfer, Ihr lakonischer Stil nimmt vorweg, was in »Ansicht der Tropen im Morgengrauen« zum bestimmenden Merkmal wird, währen in den Erzählungen selbst bereits gegenwärtig ist, was den Autor mit dem Roman »Drei traurige Tiger« in die erste Riege der lateinamerikanischen Schriftsteller vorrücken ließ: seine virtuose Beherrschung aller Sprachregister.

        Negotiating the auteur

        Dominique Cabrera, Noémie Lvovsky, Laetitia Masson and Marion Vernoux

        by Julia Dobson, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram

        This book provides the first detailed analysis of the work of four important contemporary directors whose work falls between the reductive labels of 'auteur cinema' and 'popular cinema'. Their work is contextualised within this timely investigation into the shifting relationship between the privileged status of the auteur and questions of genre, gender and cinematic production in France today. This important contribution to understanding the shifting landscapes of contemporary French film identifies an essential intermediacy in the films of these directors, which works to undo a series of dominant oppositions, generic template and contestation, public collectivity and personal intimacy, to offer a new perspective on the location of the political in contemporary French cinema. The four chapters provide detailed critical analysis of films by Dominique Cabrera, Laetitia Masson, Noémie Lvovsky and Marion Vernoux, and present common thread including the possible construction of social intimacy, the political demystification of romance narratives and the role of nostalgia, to argue that their work uses popular genres in order to challenge dominant cultural representation that resonates beyond the immediate parameters of contemporary French cinema. This book will be of interest to researchers working in French and European cinema, to students of Film Studies and French and Francophone Studies, and to film enthusiasts. ;

        Mary Kelly

        Projects, 1973–2010

        by Edited by Dominique Heyes-Moore

        Mary Kelly, we are told, was not a feminist artist, but a feminist who made art. Designed to accompany a major retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, this book contains essays and interviews which show the implications of that distinction and also the legacy of feminists and feminism in relation to art. Challenging and beautiful, Kelly's artworks address questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. The works are agilely discussed in contributions by some of the luminary feminist art scholars of our time, including Janet Wolff, Laura Mulvey, Carol Mavor and Amelia Jones, making this collection an essential new text in the discourse on art, feminism, psychoanalysis and representation.
